Privacy Policy

Overview

PinsPad is a personal URL pin collection service. We collect only the data needed to run your account, store your pins, and (if you use it) connect the Chrome extension to your PinsPad instance. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

Account data

When you register, we store:

• Email address (sign-in and account identity)
• Display name
• Password as a secure hash (we never store your password in plain text)
• Optional preferences (for example pin sort and density)

If you create an API token for the Chrome extension, we store a hashed copy of that token on the server. The raw token is shown once at creation time; you keep it in the extension settings.

Pins and categories

Pins you save may include:

• URL and title
• Optional note
• Category assignment
• Visit counts used for sorting
• A thumbnail image fetched from the page (when available)

When you add a pin from the web app, PinsPad may request the page from our servers to read public metadata (title, description, Open Graph / Twitter image) and generate a thumbnail. That fetch happens to serve your pin collection; we do not use it to build a browsing profile of sites you never saved.

Chrome extension

The PinsPad Chrome extension:

• Stores your API token locally via chrome.storage.sync so it can call the PinsPad API at pinspad.com.
• Uses activeTab only when you open the popup, to read the active tab’s title and URL for the save form.
• Sends title, URL, optional note, and category to your configured PinsPad server when you click Save. It does not read full page content, keystrokes, or your full browsing history.

Sharing and third parties

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We do not transfer user data for purposes unrelated to providing PinsPad, and we do not use it to determine creditworthiness or for lending.

Pins and account data stay on the PinsPad server that hosts your account. Hosting, database, and infrastructure providers that operate that server may process data only as needed to keep the service running.

Retention and deletion

We keep your account and pin data while your account exists. You can delete individual pins and categories in the app. If you need your whole account removed, contact us using the details below.
